Describe Coxa Valga
Describe Coxa Vara What is the Angle of anteversion? |
Coxa valga- increased angle of inclination
Coxa Vara- decreased angle of inclination Anteversion- femoral head is elevated 15-45 degrees above horizontal and rotated forward. |

Describe 4 femoral neck fractures
|
1- subcapital: completely intracapsular
2- Transcervical: transects the neck. 3- Pertrochanteric: trochanters (greater or lesser) 4- Intertrochanteric: mostly extracapsular, often heal well |
|
|
What artery supplies the majority of the the head and neck of the femur and which fracture puts that artery at risk?
|
medial circumflex artery- jeopardized with transcervical fx's
|
|
|
How will the pt present with a fx above the upper 1/3 of the shaft of the femur?
|
the proximal fragment will be pulled anteriorly, rotated laterally, and abducted.
|
|
|
How will the pt present with a fx in the middle 1/3 of the femoral shaft?
|
the proximal segment will be abducted causing it to lie lateral to the distal segment.
|
|
|
How will the pt present with a fx of the lower segment of the femoral shaft?
|
proximal fragment will be adducted by adductor muscles and lie medial to the distal fragment
|
|
|
how will the pt present with a supracondylar fracture?
|
The gastrocnemius pulls on the shaft causing the distal segment to be displaced posteriorly
|
|
|
how will the pt present with an intracondylar fracture?
|
result will be separation of the two distal articular surfaces of the femur
|
|
|
In general terms, what lies in the anterior compartment of the thigh?
What subcategories are there within the anterior compartment? |
Flexors of the hip and extensors of the knee.
subcategories- deep muscles, superficial muscles, quadriceps muscles. |
|
|
What muscles are the deep muscles of the anterior compartment?
|
Pectineus- femoral (L2-L4)
Iliopsoas- main flexor of the thigh. |
|
|
What are the superficial muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh?
|
Tensor of Fascia lata- superior gluteal nerve and deep branch of superior gluteal artery.
Sartorius- femoral nerve (L2-L3) and blood from lateral femoral circumflex a. |
|
|
what makes up the deep fascia? what does it invest?
|
deep fascia= fascia lata (not to be confused with tensor fascia lata which is the muscle). Invests the large thigh muscles.
